Modules

Kilua consists of both required and optional functionality. Modules can be added as dependencies in build.gradle.kts file.

All modules which include CSS stylesheets require explicit initialization. This also applies to the core module. This initialization ensures a predictable order in which all styles will be applied. The initialization is performed by adding dedicated module objects as parameters to the startApplication() function.

fun main() {
    startApplication(
        ::App,
        js("import.meta.webpackHot").unsafeCast<Hot?>(), // K/Js only
        BootstrapModule,
        BootstrapCssModule,
        FontAwesomeModule,
        TomSelectModule,
        CoreModule
    )
}

Some modules include more than one, optional initializers. E.g. kilua-tabulator module includes TabulatorModule, TabulatorDefaultModule, TabulatorBulmaModule, TabulatorMaterializeModule, TabulatorMidnightModule, TabulatorModernModule, TabulatorSemanticUIModule, TabulatorSimpleModule and TabulatorSiteDarkModule for all CSS styles supported by the Tabulator component.
